KRANJSKA GORA, Slovenia (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin has some work to do in the second run of a giant slalom if she’s going to match Lindsey Vonn’s women’s World Cup skiing record with her 82nd win. Shiffrin stands fifth after the opening run and is 0.31 seconds behind surprise leader Valerie Grenier of Canada. Shiffrin has won five straight races across three disciplines but struggled with an open course set in the first leg. Reigning world champion Lara Gut-Behrami is second 0.04 behind Grenier and Italian GS standouts Federica Brignone and Marta Bassino were third and fourth at deficits of 0.16 and 0.24 behind. If Shiffrin does surge into the lead in the second run she could break Vonn’s record in another giant slalom on the same course scheduled for Sunday.
